Lyrics of Ajeeb Dastan Hai and Translation
| Ajeeb dastan hai yeh Kahan shuru kahan khatam Yeh manzile hai kaunsi Na voh samajh sake na hum Yeh roshni ke saath kyoon Dhuan utha chirag se Yeh khwab dekhti hoon main Ke jag padi hoon khwaab se Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh Kahan shuru kahan khatam Yeh manzile hai kaunsi Na voh samajh sake na hum Mubarakein tumhe ke tum Kisi ke noor ho gaye Kisi ke itne paas ho Ke sab se door ho gaye Ajeeb dastaan hai yeh Kahan shuru kahan khatam Yeh manzile hai kaunsi Na voh samajh sake na hum Kisi ka pyar leke tum Naya jahan basaoge Yeh shaam jab bhi aayegi Tum humko yaad aoge
